Ah, either I didn't understand your original email or else you've just
found out that they're blocking outbound port 22 which is nasty.  Why
not run an ssh daemon on port 80 (outside) then?

Back when I worked with Dan at Red Hat I used to have a shell script
at home which did:

    while true; do
	ssh <various -R options> <a-server-at-redhat-london> \
		'while true;do echo .;sleep 60; done'
	sleep 60
    done

(That is hazily remembered - I think the actual ssh-ing in part was a
mite more complicated than that because RH are very paranoid about
security).
